Hey folks, i have a 75g standard w/T5's and want to switch over to leds. My price range is up to $500. What are my best options?:bigsmile:
 
I would avoid the cheap ebay fixtures as they are not efficient and often dont look good.

You can get by with 60 XT-E LEDs and four 700mA drivers. This with optics and heatsink will be under $500 and provide more light than two 175 watt MHs or two 120 watt Chinese fixtures and consume less than 160 watts.
